Paul Torres and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell signed paperwork placing the Comanche Ranch into trust and officially adding it to our reservation boundary. Isleta purchased the land for $7.3 million in 1997 and since then has been asking the federal government to place it in trust on behalf of the tribe. “It’s been a long time coming and it has finally happened,” said an elated Gov. Torres shortly after the signing. “When we put land into trust that land will stay part of the reservation for future generations to come.” The 90-thousand acres represents the largest transfer of land back to a tribe’s control in U.S. history and is a significant addition to the Obama Administration’s goal of placing 500-thousand acres into trust for tribes. Sec. Jewell says the transfer takes the total so far to more than 400-thousand acres. "This is vastly different than the U.S. government-to-government relationship with tribes that took place for several hundreds of years, which was one of assimilation of Native people, killing of the culture, allocating lands to the individuals." The Isleta Veterans Association posted the colors at the signing ceremony which was held at the “old courthouse,” and was witnessed by dozens of tribal members as well as current and past council members and governors who played a role in acquiring the property. Past governors included: Robert Benavidez; Alvino Lucero; Fred Lujan; Frank Lujan and Verna Teller. Current and former council members in attendance included: Fernando Abeita; Ulysses Abeita; Robert Benavidez; Beatrice Lente; Michael A. Lente; Diane Peigler; Charlene Seidl and Verna Teller. Current Lieutenant Governors Antonio Chewiwi and Isidor Abeita were also in attendance. The historic event was also witnessed by local, state and federal dignitaries, including: Larry Roberts, the Interior Department's acting assistant secretary of Indian Affairs; Senator Tom Udall; Congresswoman Michelle Lujan-Grisham and state Senator Michael Sanchez. The property will continue to operate as a ranch with approximately 15-hundred head of cattle. It will also serve as a sanctuary of sorts for the hundreds of antelope, deer and bird species found there. The signing ceremony made headlines in local, state, national and international news as well. It was mentioned during several broadcasts on KOAT (Ch. 7), KRQE (Ch. 13), KUNM-FM and the nationally syndicated radio program, National Native Governor Eddie P. Torres and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell signing the Fee to Trust acquisition of the COMANCHE RANCH. News. The Albuquerque Journal, Socorro Chieftain and the Valencia County NewsBulletin carried the story in their papers locally while the Associated Press sent the story worldwide. At last count, the story was found on nearly 300 media sites worldwide as far away as Hawaii and New Zealand.

Agencies that participated in this event were the Truancy, Behavioral Health, Tribal Court and some of our Tribal leaders. Truancy provided our lunches and direction while Behavioral Health held team building and problem solving exercises. These exercises were not only fun but very positive. The youth encouraged one another with the assistance of our adult Mentors who monitored their actions and experience along with positive reinforcement Prior to the youths going on this hunt they were told stories in Tiwa and encouraged to speak Tiwa challenging them to learn new words. They were exposed to cultural traditions, and practices that should be performed during and after the hunt. Thank you to our Whe- la- wes for allowing this hunt to take place along with the Natural Resources Dept. who regulate the proper use of our lands. I would also like to thank the NM certified Hunter instructors who came out and reinforced the most important aspect of these events which is safety. Special thanks go out to our adult Mentor Volunteers who are at the heart of this endeavor: Dennis Jojola, Marlo Martin, Ta Ta shirpoyo (Edwin Jaramillo), and Ta Ta Kuff-Tu (Bernard Lujan) and all the other families that participated. It is this community participation that we need in order to thrive. I want to thank everyone who participated in this experience. This endeavor was a huge success because not only were there no accidents and violations from our youth, but because we brought them back to the center and first. They followed direction, listened, and most importantly participated. I can only contribute this success to all who participated and their vision. Thank you for your efforts. I had a lot of fun and I’m sure you built some great memories. I hope we can continue to build success such as these. Ha-wuu. Rodney Jones Isleta Health Center Community Health Representatives Phone: 869-4485 Child Safety Car Seats: A Parent/Guardian Responsibility The Community Health Representative (CHR) office at the Pueblo of Isleta Health Center would like to clear up some misinformation regarding the availability of child safety car seats. CHR does not carry an inventory of child car seats and does not give away car seats. What we do provide for parents and guardians are child car seat clinics at least twice a year, at which time you may receive a replacement seat (these are state sponsored events with guidelines on when a seat may be provided to an attendee depending on availability of seats). Child car seat clinics are free and open to the public and can provide you with proper child car seat installation and answer any questions you may have about child car seat safety. Trained car seat technicians can also help to identify car seats that may be on a manufacturer recall and they can help determine if your child’s seat has expired. Keep in mind that when you attend a child car seat clinic you must arrive in a vehicle with all children secure in car safety seats; furthermore, you should have your vehicle’s Operator’s Manual on hand. The Isleta Health Center has two certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians on staff. You can call us at any time if you have any questions or concerns about child safety car seats. At this time, we don’t know when the next car seat clinic will be, but as soon as we have one scheduled we will inform you via posters around the community and an article in an upcoming Pueblo of Isleta newsletter. As always, we encourage you to buckle up yourself and your child every time you travel in your vehicle, even if you’re ‘just going down the street’. Be safe and have a wonderful summer! Frances Anchondo, CHR Coordinator Child Passenger Safety Technician Phone: 869-4482 Stephanie Barela, Health Educator Child Passenger Safety Technician Phone: 869-4479 February 2016 Animal Control News! Isleta Pueblo News Hello to the community, and your pets. As of this printing Isleta Animal Control along with Spay Neuter NM and Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue will have hosted yet again another spay and Neuter clinic. The January clinic, which was held at Valencia Animal Shelter, allowed another 30 animals from the Pueblo to get spayed and/or neutered. We are excited to see so many pet owners interested in the program. Since 2014 approximately 150 pets have been surgically sterilized through these clinics. This year we plan on almost doubling the number of sterilized animals by hosting 6 clinics this year. If you are interested in getting your pet spayed or neutered call our office at 869-7564 for more information. Let us all do our part as responsible pet owners to keep the population of unwanted pets to a minimum. Like having a human child, pet ownership comes with many responsibilities, expenses and time. Remember once we make a commitment to become pet owners we automatically take on that responsibility. Pets and other animals such as livestock need our constant attention. We must provide that sustenance for them in order to survive. Many people are caught up in everyday life and as a result owners in many instances neglect our pets. No one wants to see any child neglected and on the same token we do not want any pet to be neglected. If an owner is found guilty of neglect or cruelty of one animal, that owner could face up to 6 months in prison and up to $1,000 in fines. If more than one animal is involved the fines and jail time increase with each victim. With this in mind as owners of pets let us take that responsibility seriously. Animal Control- 505-869-7564 ANIMAL CONTROL Pet owners, now that the weather is colder, please keep your pets warm and safe from the freezing weather. Animals that are kept outside should be provided with a shelter to get out of the elements. Old bales of hay are great for making a shelter for your pet in the winter. Straw or similar hay can be used as bedding in dog houses. Blankets are also good but once they become wet, they do not insulate very well. Animals also need more calories to keep warm. A small increase in food intake will help your outside pet stay warm. Animals kept indoors should not need extra food. Dehydration is also a concern during winter months. Water easily freezes in water bowls limiting water consumption. So always remove ice from water bowls and replace with fresh water. Isleta Animal Control would like to remind pet owners of the Pueblo of Isleta Animal Ordinance. Here are a few sections of the Pueblo of Isleta Animal Control Ordinance and some of the violations that are being seen and reported. Please remember these ordinances are in place to protect visitors, family, friends and pets. They read as follows: Sec.3E: Proper Care and Maintenance- It is the responsibility of the owner to provide adequate shelter, fresh food, and water to their animals at all times and a clean living environment. Clean water must be available and accessible at all times. Owners are also responsible to provide adequate veterinary care for an injured or sick animal. Depending on the severity or condition of an animal, could lead to criminal charges being filed for Animal Neglect and or Cruelty under this ordinance. Sec.3F: Running at Large- No animal is allowed to run at large, roam or create a nuisance on another person’s property or public areas of the Pueblo. All animals must be within the control of their owner, confined or physically restrained in a manner that it cannot escape. First offense for an animal running at large will result in a $25.00 fine. Second offense will result in a $50.00 fine. Third offense will result in a $100.00 fine. Four or more violations will result in being cited for “Nuisance Animals” as well as a petition will be filed in court to have the animal removed from its owner. Sec.3G: Animals Must be on a Leash: All animals accompanying/following their owners off their property must remain on a leash at all times. The leash must be affixed to the animal by a properly fitted collar or body harness. It must in control of their owner at all times. The first violation will result in a warning. A fine of $50.00 will be assessed for a second violation. A $100.00 fine will be assessed for third violation. Subsequent violations will result in criminal charges under Section 8B of this Ordinance.

Page 9 Page 10 Isleta Pueblo News February 2016 FROM THE DESK OF THE PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR (Arnold Sena): Wow it’s February 2016 already, time sure does seem to be flying by, and can you believe how quickly this year is moving? As I gradually make my way into another month I can see, smell and feel the subtle changes in the air around me every day. With each passing day I notice that the days are starting to get a little bit longer and the weather is starting to warm up nicely. Every day as I drive from my office to the complex to take paperwork or for meetings I tend to see more tribal members take to the beautiful outdoors walking around the pueblo, going for a brisk run in the pueblo or just sitting outside on their front porches enjoying the sun light and the warmer days, that’s a sure sign that the seasons are starting to change. With change comes new ideas, openness and the concept of getting better at what we do, this is always a good thing. As the New Director of the Parks & Recreation Department here at the Pueblo, I want all of you to know that I am very open to change and everything it has to offer. The idea of change for us here at the Parks & Recreation Department means that we want to find better ways to serve our tribal members and I’m very interested in hearing your ideas on how we can make this happen. Your input on this matter is important to me for the future and your input is welcomed. Currently the Parks & Recreation Department does some wonderful things for the Pueblo and we want to make sure that we continue doing those things, but we want and need your help. We want to be open to change and the concept of getting better at what we do. I’m very interested in hearing from you, I want to hear your suggestions for future programing, any new programming ideas that you may have, any issues you may have (good or bad, preferably good) concerning the Department, and what you think we can do to better serve the tribal members here at Isleta. As I mentioned earlier your input is valuable to me, I am very interested in hearing what you have to say. Here’re a few ways you can use to get your input to me: • Contact me at 869-9777 and give your input directly. • Email your input to me at poi91001@ isletapueblo.com • Mail your input directly to me at: Parks & Rec. Director (Arnold Sena) P.O. Box 808 Isleta Pueblo, NM 87022 • Stop by my office at the New Recreation Center to personally meet with me. I’m really looking forward to hearing from you! RECREATION CENTER PROGRAMS The Isleta Pueblo Parks & Recreation Department hosts a multitude of programs that our tribal members and tribal employees can take advantage of to enhance their health and daily living. Daily programs start as early as 5am at the new recreation center and 3:30am at the old recreation center. Our After School Recreation program is available for all school age children Monday through Friday after school until 5:30pm. It’s a great program for the youth to participant in where they can have fun in a safe and friendly environment. For more information on this program please contact Antonio Garcia at 869-9777. For those of you who like to work out before going to work in the morning. A Cross Training Class is offered at 5 am and 12 noon every Monday through Friday at the new rec center.

AQUATICS We here at the new rec center want to make sure that the tribal members and tribal employees are able to take advantage of our beautiful swimming pool, to help ensure that we are working to make that happen we have made adjustments to our current swim activities to free up different time slots throughout the week which should help make it more convenient for tribal members and tribal employees to use the pool. The immediate change that has been made will free up time from 3:30pm to 6:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursday for use. Those days and times will be open anyone to come in and take advantage of. Please keep in mind that in most cases, if you come in while some of the current pool activities are taking place, our pool staff will do their best to free up a lane or two to accommodate your request to swim. We will continue to make adjustments to our schedule as needed in hopes that we are able to accommodate all current activities and any future request. We are also in the process of filling some vacant Lifeguard positions. For safety reasons it’s imperative that we get these vacant positions filled as quickly as possible. Getting these positions filled will also help us with the proper coverage to help ensure maximum usage by tribal members and tribal employees that want to use the pool for recreation and health reason alike. If you want more information about the pool or if you are interested in becoming a Lifeguard here at the Isleta Pool and you meet the job requirements, please apply online and/or contact our Aquatics Coordinator Lindred Onsae or our Assistant Aquatics Coordinator LeeAnn Lente at 869—9783.

Remember - Stay fit, healthy, happy and safe! Page 12 WIC NOTES Isleta Pueblo News February 2016 February is Children’s Dental Health Month. Good news… tooth decay is preventable! Nutrition and Your Child’s Teeth Begin cleaning your baby’s mouth during the first few days after birth by wiping the gums with a clean, moist gauze pad or washcloth. As soon as teeth appear, decay can occur. A baby’s front four teeth usually push through the gums at about 6 months of age, although some children don’t have their first tooth until 12 or 14 months. Infants should see the dentist within 6 months of cutting his first tooth and no later than age 12 months. What your child eats affects his or her teeth. Too many carbohydrates, sugar (for example, cake, cookies, candies, milk, and other sugary foods and beverages), and starches (for example, pretzels and potato chips) can cause tooth decay. How long carbohydrates remain on the teeth is the main culprit that leads to tooth decay. The best thing you can do as a parent is to teach your child to make healthy food choices. • Avoid sticky, chewy foods. • Serve sugary treats with meals, not as snacks. • Get your children in the habit of eating as few snacks as possible. • Avoid sugary foods that stay on the teeth. • Buy foods that are sugar-free or unsweetened. • Never put your baby to bed with a bottle filled with milk, formula, juice, or soda. • Include good sources of calcium in your child’s diet to build strong teeth. • If your child chews gum buy xylitolsweetened or sugar-free gum. • Use fluoride-containing toothpastes and brush and floss your child’s teeth daily. • Brush your child’s teeth after giving him or her medicine. • Visit the dentist regularly. The best way to prevent tooth decay is to use fluoride-containing toothpaste every day. (Fluoride toothpaste should only be used in children old enough to spit out the remaining toothpaste.) Floss your child’s teeth at least once a day to help remove particles between teeth and below the gum line.

February 2016 Isleta Pueblo News Page 13 Isleta Health Center Behavioral Health Services Prevention Program Phone: 505.869.5475 Methamphetamine and Suicide Prevention Initiative (MSPI) QUARTER 1 UPDATES The first quarter (October – December 2015) under a newly funded Methamphetamine and Suicide Prevention Initiative Grant awarded through the Indian Health Services, has been a successful one. The first quarter included many community collaborations, in-school prevention, after school prevention and service learning projects. The collaborations throughout the community included many of the community service providers and departments through the Pueblo of Isleta as well as some outside resources. Such collaboration includes Isleta Police Department, Isleta Recreation, Isleta Social Services, Isleta Diabetes Prevention Program, MIS, Treasury, Courts, and much more. Some notable community events from Quarter 1 include: Domestic Violence Awareness Month Activities, Annual Memorial Walk, and Reaching for the Stars. With valiant efforts from community and department collaboration, these events were successful and reflected the open hearts and minds of this community. Annual Memorial Walk The ICAT spent months of planning and preparation for the event date. With dedicated service providers and POI Employee’s input, we put another year in the books. On December 19th we celebrated the 6th Annual Memorial Walk, which turned out to be another huge success. With approximately 2,500 luminaries lighting several village tribal roads and Rio Grande River Bridge, nearly 200 community members participated in the event held at the Recreation Center on that clear, calm, and slightly chilly evening. Community members came together to walk in memory of those who have passed and also attended a memorial service provided by Father George with songs performed by the St. Augustine Church choir. Upon return to the Recreation Center, the participants shared a warm home cooked meal that featured steaming posole and fresh oven bread. There were also wonderful side dishes, desserts, and warm beverages after which community members enjoyed a memorial slideshow. The Valencia High School ROTC Program presented the Colors prior to the evening’s activities and Governor Eddie Paul Torres, Sr. opened with a blessing and prayer of encouragement. There was also an added message from many Native American communities: “we are only here on earth on borrowed time, so don’t regret losing anyone. Cherish moments with them, forgive one another, care for one another, and love one another. We don’t want to be stuck missing someone when they are gone, when in fact we had that chance when they were here on earth.” Everyone seemed to appreciate and enjoy the event as they were touched by the memorial slide show, dazzled with the door prizes and returned to their homes with full tummies. Thank you to all that make this such a special “annual” event and to all the participants. The in-school and after school prevention programs included curriculum instructions, hands-on experiential activities, service learning projects, life skills development, awareness building and youth development. The in-school prevention program works with the Isleta Elementary School under the direction of the Pueblo of Isleta. The Elementary School has been gracious and allowed for curriculum instructions as well as hands on experiential and life skills building to be introduced to the students. IHS Youth Best Practices https://www.ihs. gov/mspi/bppinuse/youthbp/: “American Indian Life Skills Development”. The course teaches life skills in communication, problem solving, depression, stress management, anger regulation, and goal setting. Aimed at American Indian adolescents 10 to 19 years old, the curriculum includes from 28 to 56 lesson plans that cover topics such as building self-esteem, identifying emotions and stress, increasing communication and problem-solving skills, recognizing and eliminating self-destructive behavior, and setting personal and community goals. The IHS Youth Best Practices: “Keepin’ It REAL: Drug Resistance” is included in this curriculum.. The curriculum is a multicultural, school-based substance use prevention program for students 10-14 years old. There is emphasis on resistance strategies represented in the acronym “REAL: Refuse offers to use substances, Explain why you do not want to use substances, Avoid situations in which substances are used, and Leave situations in which substances are used”. In addition to the Elementary School activities an after-school program is offered for the IES Students on their half-days. Activities include outings, hands on activities i.e. team building, ice breakers and much more. One notable outing that everyone enjoyed was an Equine Assisted Therapy from the IHS Youth Best Practices. The youth engaged in a session with horses, and discussed Historical Trauma topics that included loss of tribal lands, loss of tribal language, and cultural identity. The IBHS after-school prevention program has been working with Isleta community youth ages 10-15 years. Although the program is open to ages, 8 – 17 year olds, the age range we serve is primarily in the ages indicated. The youth engage in prevention programming that includes increased awareness building through focus groups, community service/service learning projects, experiential outings, hands-on experiential activities, positive youth development, leadership development, and much more. Some notable activities in quarter 1 include youth attendance at council meetings with “Honoring Native Life” (HNL), the NM Statewide Clearinghouse for Native American Suicide Prevention to support prevention, intervention and post-vention initiatives. HNL is located at the University of New Mexico’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Division of Community Behavioral Health, located at the Center for Rural and Community Behavioral Health. The after-school program has 4 Isleta Youth who serve on the HNL Youth Council. Other noteworthy activities are the active role in the October Domestic Violence Prevention Month Activities and a Service Learning Project with the Governors/Lt. Governors Office. The annual Christmas Celebration included a luminaria display for the people of Isleta as well as the St. Augustine Church. The Luminaria Project spanned over two days and required over 10 hours of hard work. With the collaborative help with IPD, the task was completed for Christmas Eve. The IBHS Prevention Program is open to Native American Youth ages 8-17 years old. The weekly group meetings are held primarily on Monday and Wednesday evenings, 4:30-6:30 and sometimes feature weekend outings, and/or different scheduled days and times. The program offers transportation services and youth interested are directed to contact IBHS @ 505.869.5475. We invite you to join the Isleta Community Action Team where we brainstorm, plan, and implement for the community. MSPI Quarter 2 Planning and Implementations In the MSPI Quarter 2 (January – March), we continue to plan activities for the youth of the community. We ask the youth to help plan the activities that we can offer for them. Part of the planning happens around the Spring Break session for the Local Schools. We take into consideration the different school breaks and offer available outings and activities. All activities are under the MSPI Funded Grant Purpose Area #4, Generation Indigenous (GEN-I) Youth Support Initiative and we seek to meet 3 broad objectives: • Implement evidenced-based and practice-based approaches to build resiliency, promote positive development, and increase self-sufficiency behaviors among native youth; • Promote family engagement; and • Increase access to prevention activities for youth to prevent methamphetamine use and other substance use disorder that contribute to suicidal behaviors in culturally appropriate ways. In order to meet an overall MSPI Goal, we promote early intervention strategies and implement positive youth programming aimed at reducing risk factors for suicidal behavior and substance abuse.

Contact Information: Rebecca Gonzales Sr. Companion Coordinator Isleta Elder Center (505) 869-9770 Isleta Health Center Optometry Clinic Phone: 869-4080 Six common mistakes made by patients when handling contact lenses 1. Not washing and drying hands. Washing your hands may seem like common sense, but the American Eye-Q® survey found that 35 percent of contact lens wearers skipped this important step. Drying is also an important part of the process since tap water can contain harmful microorganisms that can be transferred onto the lens and onto the eye. 2. Wearing lenses longer than recommended. Many contact lens wearers will try to make their lenses last longer by waiting to change them until the lenses become bothersome. According to the American Eye-Q® survey, 57 percent of contact lens wearers admitted to wearing disposable contact lenses longer than directed. Not following an eye doctor’s recommended changing schedule can cause preventable eye irritation or even lead to permanent eye damage from bacterial infections. 3. Not replacing contact lens cases regularly. Eye doctors recommend that lens cases be replaced at least every three months, and cases should be cleaned and disinfected periodically in between. Yet, only 41 percent of contact lens wearers follow this rule. 4. Sleeping in contacts overnight. The American Eye-Q® survey revealed 21 percent of contact lens wearers are guilty of this bad habit. Sleeping in contacts puts consumers at risk for an eye infection. Only do so when wearing lenses specifically designed for day and night wear and when closely monitored by your doctor. 5. Reusing old contact lens solution. Only fresh solution should be used to clean and store contact lenses. Stick to products recommended by your eye doctor to clean and disinfect lenses, and remember, saline solution and re-wetting drops are not designed to disinfect lenses. 6. Wearing contact lenses while swimming or in a hot tub. Approximately 26 percent of contact lens wearers swim in their contact lenses. This routine can lead to serious sight-threatening eye infections and irritation. According to the FDA and the American Optometric Association, contact lenses should not be exposed to any kind of water, including tap water and water in swimming pools, oceans, lakes, hot tubs and showers.

Lucero, Home Services Manager Extension: 9338. at 869-9770 Is Home Care For You? Article from “The Comfort of Home” The need to provide care for a loved one arises for many reasons. A sudden illness or hospital stay may dictate the need for help, or a person may gradually find the job of caring for a home and personal care too taxing. Often, the person who needs care does not realize it and family members step in to help with decisions that need to be made. One of those decisions involves who the caregiver will be where care will be provided. The choices can be difficult unless you know the factors to consider. Knowing What Level of Care Is Needed Before you take on the demanding job of home care, decide what level of care you must provide. Do you need to give: Minimum assistance? Person is basically independent, can handle most household chores and personal care, and needs help with only one or two ADLs. Moderate assistance? Person needs help with three or more ADLs, such as bathing, cooking, or shopping. Maximum assistance? Person unable to care for themselves, requires total assistance, and must require 24/7 care. This type of care giving is often undertaken by professionals, either in the home assisted living facilities, or nursing homes. Care for someone who is terminally ill? To determine the level of care, you must understand the person’s condition and needs in the areas of daily hygiene and health. Generally, these needs fall into two broad categories. Activities of Daily Living like eating, bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and going to the toilet. Activities Important to Independence like cooking, shopping, housekeeping, getting to the doctor, paying bills, and managing money. Characteristics to look for in assessing the overall level of care needed are the person’s: • Ability to transfer independently from bed to wheelchair February 2016 • Ability to move independently in wheelchair or walker • Ability to control bladder and bowel movements • Ability to carry out the basic activities of daily living • Ability to call for help • Degree of sight and hearing impairment • Degree of confusion Also consider emotional conditions that might require advanced or special levels of care: • • • Depression A need for socializing or privacy Homesickness After giving some thought to these characteristics, try to place the person you might care for in one of these categories: Minimum Assistance, Moderate Assistance or Maximum Assistance. *Information provided to you from your Home Services Program.

Page 18 Isleta Pueblo News February 2016 Isleta Pueblo News February 2016 Page 19 Head Start & Early Head Start Head Start promotes the school readiness of young children from low-income families through agencies in their local community. The Head Start program is authorized by the Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007. Head Start and Early Head Start programs support the comprehensive development of children from birth to age 5, in centers, child care partner locations, and in their own homes. Comprehensive development services include: • Early Childhood Teachers (Early Head Start & Head Start) - facilitate individualized learning experiences to promote children’s readiness for school and beyond. Through planned and spontaneous instruction, relationships with adults, and play, children grow in language and literacy, early math and science concepts, and social and emotional development. • Health- Children receive health and development screenings, nutritious meals, oral health and mental health support. Programs connect families with medical, dental, and mental health services, and ensure that children are receiving the services they need. • Family well-being- Parents and families are supported in achieving their own goals, such as housing stability, continued education, and financial security. Programs support and strengthen parent-child relationships and engage families around children’s learning and development. Family members must apply directly with the Isleta Head Start & Child Care Program. Early Head Start & Head Start Programs provide services to over a million children a year in every U.S. state, territory and in over 155 tribal communities. Programs prioritize enrollment for children in foster care, children with disabilities, and children whose families are homeless. Head Start agencies design services for children and families that meet the needs of their local community and follow the Head Start Program Performance Standards. These agencies receive grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and are administered by the Office of Head Start (OHS). Some local communities and states contribute additional funding to expand Head Start and Early Head Start to include more children within their communities. Isleta Pueblo provides the Head Start & Early Head Start Programs with close to 20% of the program’s total budget. What programs are offered by Head Start? Head Start began as a program for preschoolers. Three- and 4-year-old preschoolers made up over 80 percent of the children served by Head Start programs across the U.S. last year. Early Head Start serves pregnant women, infants, and toddlers. Early Head Start programs are available to the family until the child turns 3 years old and is ready to transition into Head Start or another pre-K program. Early Head Start helps families care for their infants and toddlers through early, continuous, intensive, and comprehensive services. Both Head Start and Early Head Start programs offer a variety of service models, depending on the needs of the local community. Early Head Start & Head Start services are provided for six hours per day. Another program option is home-based services, in which a home visitor visits children/families once a week in their own home and works with the parent as the child's primary teacher. Children and families who receive home-based services also meet twice monthly with other enrolled families for a group learning experience facilitated by the home visiting staff. What is school readiness? The Office of Head Start (OHS) defines school readiness as children being ready for school, families ready to support their children's learning, and schools ready for the children who enter their doors. Children's school readiness is measured by the skills set out in the five domains of the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: • • • • • Language and Literacy Cognition and General Knowledge Approaches to Learning Physical Development and Health Social and Emotional Development Families are engaged in their children's learning and development and are poised to support the lifelong success of their child. Head Start recognizes that parents are their children's primary teachers and advocates. Schools become ready for children when Head Start programs, parents, and schools work together to promote school readiness and engage families as their children make the transition to kindergarten. What are comprehensive services? Head Start comprehensive services include: • • • • • • • • • Early Learning Screenings and follow-up for health, development, and behavior Health and safety Social and emotional development Nutrition Family goal-setting Social services Transition services Services for children with disabilities Comprehensive services are delivered in a learning environment that is individualized to support children's growth in the five essential domains. A minimum of 10 percent of a program's total enrollment must be children with disabilities. Additionally, Head Start services are designed to be responsive to each child and family's ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage. If you are interested in participating in the Early Head Start or Head Start Programs, please call 869-9796 to schedule an appointment to fill out your application!
